-----------------------FAQ-----------------------
Q: But what even is Fusion Dancing?
A: I’m so glad you asked! Fusion is a style of partner dance (where two people dance together) that holds connection, expression, and musicality as its main focus. Fusion lives up to its name by pulling techniques, styling, and inspiration from any/all other dance styles and blending them together into something new.
Q: OK…but what the heck is a “practica”?
A: Excellent question! A practica is an informal gathering where dancers of all experience levels gather to practice, learn, and experiment with new techniques. Dancers are encouraged to ask questions and learn from each other, but everyone takes things at their own pace. Nobody will judge you for “messing up” here; it’s a great place to ask for feedback or ask to try a movement again. That said, it’s totally valid to grab a drink and simply observe other dancers as they practice.
Q: Saying “no”
A: Tired from the day or not sure you’re up to dancing a whole lot? Everyone is welcome to say “no” to invitations to dance and to offers of feedback. Exercising your “no” and gracefully accepting someone else's is an integral part of Fusion culture, and an excellent way to flex your freewill. This time and space is for you to use as you need. Be respectful and kind, and do you, Boo. We’ll back you up.
